Suppose a plugin has a cvar which is turned on for eg. "bullet_dmg 1".
Is it possible to check this cvar in another plugin?
Like if bullet_dmg is 1 show a message to admin

You can also consider the xvar natives

PHP Code:

g_BulletDmgPtr = get_cvar_pointer( "bullet_dmg" );

if ( get_pcvar_num( g_BulletDmgPtr ) == 1 )
{
     //do something
}

where am i wrong please help..

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <fun>
#include <engine>

new g_racePtr

public plugin_init() {

register_clcmd("say /mode", "SelectStyle", ADMIN_BAN)
g_racePtr = get_cvar_pointer( "fl_on" );

}

public SelectStyle(id)
{
    menu created
}

public menu_handle(id)
 {
   switch(item) {

		case 0: {
                                 if ( get_pcvar_num( g_racePtr ) == 1 )
				    {
					 set_hudmessage(0, 255, 255, -1.0, 0.0, 0, 1.0, 7.0, 0.1, 0.2)
					  show_hudmessage(id, "Race is currently on kindly stop the race or wait for it to finish")
				     }
                                                           

//statments to be executed
}

From a psuedo-code perspective it looks fine, you are retrieving the cvar pointer from an existing cvar at plugin_cfg() and using it in your menu callback. Is it not working? Did you debug at all by console/server printing the get_pcvar_num() return value?

No it wasnt working then but i made it work as i registered this cvar as initial value 0 and then used get_pcvar_num

public plugin_init()
 {
   cvar_race= register_cvat ("fl_on","0")
}
   and then used
    if(get_pcvar_num(cvar_race)==1)
      {
         //statements
}

thank you for your help..

If you register the cvar in the same plugin, your original question is out of point. You're not using a cvar from a different plugin if you register it again in this one. Make sure the cvar name is correct and the value is really the one you need.

[Bugsy]

get_cvar_pointer() returns the same value that register_cvar() would return, except it uses an existing CVAR instead of creating new. What I provided is the correct way, you must have implemented it incorrectly.

A cvar created by another plugin isn't guaranteed to exist in plugin_init() of a different plugin. Generally, you register cvars in plugin_init() and get cvar pointers in plugin_cfg() so that you know that the cvar is created prior to trying to retrieve the cvar pointer.
